I have a question. I finally got going on my porsche project.

Just changed all the belts and rollers and learning alot about the car. My question is the car is running great, but the radiator water is not going up through the neck. I have blocked off water from going through the heater core which should not affect it. But seams like we have alot of air in the system. I opened the pressure screw and got most the air out but still water is not getting sucked up. Could this be the Water pump. yet car is not overheating at all. Runs good but if you squeeze the upper tube their is no water.

Any thoughts.

P.S. was like christmas finally got my carbeau seat and Toyo R888 in. I am happy happy man

Add more water. Sounds like you don't have enough water in it.

Yep ... and I do not recomend this at all but here is what I do ... I fill the holding/overflow tank then blow into the tank till water spurts out of the bleed screw. then bleed it normally from there.
